"The camera is the excuse. The trip is the point."
Jonathan Byrne is a travel and wildlife photographer based in South Florida. He documents nature, culture, and everyday life in the places most itineraries skip, from Bolivian salt flats to Japanese pilgrim trails.
His work has been featured by the national tourism boards of Bolivia and Peru, and his stock portfolio has sold more than 500 licenses worldwide. He has visited 31 of the 63 US national parks and collects the official brochure from every one.
Off the trail he is a physician in training and an ultrarunner. The camera comes everywhere. The tripod comes when it earns its weight.
